"By Tricia Olszewski Anyone wondering about the verisimilitude of We Don’t Live Here Anymore won’t have to wait long for the reassuring line: The very first scene delivers “You’re drunk and we’re going to fight and you have that look on your face.” Spoken by a husband who’s explaining to his postparty, roller-coastering wife why he just wants to go to bed, that bit of dialogue and the tension-filled milieu it’s a part of ring so true that audience members may think that the scriptwriter bugged their homes.

You only have to hear the lush musical cues that hark back to pre-60s to understand that the man is all heart, and though you could take exception to many of the ideas bouncing and careening off the screen in such bombastic films as: She's Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing, B ...
